  1. Capricorn Full Moon. Mercury Retrograde

    6d ago

    Capricorn Full Moon. Mercury Retrograde

    This is a fairly intense week. I will guide you through it as best as possible. It is a week where revelations and shifts in perspective are likely. Not necessarily easy, but constructive and, in many ways, necessary — both globally and personally. The pace of astrological movement mirrors a broader sense of emotional and structural instability playing out on the ground. As larger systems continue to shift — something long indicated by slow outer-planet cycles — the effects show up in everyday life. Financial structures, institutional assumptions, and long-standing frameworks around banking, taxes, healthcare, and governance are in flux. Ideally, these changes move toward improvement, but the process is strategic, uneven, and often disruptive. Monday, June 29 — Full Moon in Capricorn Monday opens with a full moon exact at 7:57 PM in Capricorn at 8°15’. The Capricorn Moon emphasizes structure, responsibility, and achievement. It seeks stability through effort and control, but can also feel isolated or heavy, as it often prioritizes duty over emotional ease. Many with strong Capricorn Moon signatures have early experiences of responsibility that shape long-term independence. Opposing this is the Sun in Cancer, highlighting home, family, emotional safety, and belonging. This creates a clear tension: outer achievement versus inner security. Throughout the day, there is a natural build toward this full moon culmination. It is less about completion and more about integration. The question becomes: does what I am building support emotional grounding, or has it come at the expense of it? With Neptune’s influence active in the background, emotional clarity can feel slightly obscured, amplifying uncertainty or longing for meaning. After 7:57 PM, the Moon begins its waning phase — a shift toward reflection, release, and reassessment. Monday Afternoon — Mercury Retrograde Begins At 1:36 PM Eastern, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer. This begins a cycle of revisiting memory, narrative, and emotional history — personal and collective. It often surfaces misunderstandings tied to assumptions about the past or about emotional intent. This is not a time for clean forward momentum in communication-heavy matters. It is a time for review, clarification, and reworking what has already been set in motion. Tuesday, June 30 — Jupiter into Leo At 1:52 AM, Jupiter enters Leo. This shift brings a noticeable change in tone. Fire and air signs may feel increased energy, visibility, and creative expansion. Jupiter in Leo amplifies expression, confidence, and desire for recognition — though it can also magnify excess or overextension. The key question becomes: where is Leo in your chart, and what area of life is expanding now? Wednesday, July 1 — Void Moon → Aquarius The Moon goes void-of-course at 7:51 AM and remains untethered until it enters Aquarius at 3:33 PM. The morning is best kept simple. Focus on maintenance, not initiation. Clear tasks, organize, and handle what is already in motion. Once the Moon enters Aquarius, energy becomes more mentally active and forward-leaning. However, clarity depends heavily on communication. Aquarius can be decisive, but without dialogue it risks detachment or rigidity. This is a day where feedback matters as much as direction. Assumptions are where things break down. Friday, July 3 — Aquarius Void Moon At 1:27 PM, the Moon again goes void-of-course. This continues the theme of working with what already exists rather than initiating new directions. It is better suited for refinement, cleanup, and observation than launching anything significant. By this point in the week, communication sensitivity is heightened. Misreads, timing issues, or emotional misalignment can occur if too much is assumed rather than confirmed. Saturday, July 4 — Mars–Uranus Conjunction in Gemini Early Saturday at 2:08 AM, Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini. This is a volatile combination for communication, information flow, and reaction. It can bring sudden statements, disruptions, or spikes of tension in discourse. With the Moon still void-of-course at the time, outcomes may feel loud but not necessarily lasting. Much of what surfaces may function more as distraction than direction. The key is restraint. Avoid reacting to provocation or information that feels designed to destabilize attention. Saturday into Sunday — Moon in Pisces At 2:30 AM, the Moon enters Pisces, shifting the tone significantly. After the intensity of the Mars–Uranus conjunction, Pisces brings softening, intuition, and emotional integration. There is a sense of reorientation toward meaning and inner coherence. The Moon’s trine to Mercury retrograde in Cancer supports reflection on memory, origin, and emotional truth — both personal and collective. This is a period for perspective rather than reaction. What is real tends to emerge through quiet awareness rather than analysis or argument. Later aspects og the Moon to Mars and Uranus may briefly stir emotional or mental turbulence, but they pass quickly. Closing Note The overall arc of the week is movement from tension into reflection. Early pressure builds awareness. Midweek demands communication discipline. The weekend opens into a more intuitive, receptive state. There is value in slowing responses, checking assumptions, and allowing meaning to surface without forcing interpretation. Creativity, connection, and emotional honesty are the most stable guides through the week’s volatility. Love — in practical, grounded form — remains a consistent stabilizing force when attention is scattered. For more details… Listen to the full weekly podcast!

  2. Waxing Moon Momentum Meets Mercury Slowdowns

    Jun 21

    Waxing Moon Momentum Meets Mercury Slowdowns

    This week we’re working with the waxing Moon cycle, which is always supportive of momentum, growth, and moving things forward. It’s a great time for projects, connections, and anything you’re hoping to build or develop. While you can certainly make progress during the waning Moon, the waxing phase tends to feel as though the current is moving with you. At the same time, Mercury is moving through what many astrologers call the storm or shadow period. From Earth’s perspective, Mercury is slowing down before its upcoming retrograde. This means themes that arise now may be revisited later, and small delays, misunderstandings, or adjustments can begin to surface. The theme of the week is simple: keep moving forward, but stay flexible. Monday, June 22 Check Your Support Systems The Moon is in Libra, creating an atmosphere that encourages collaboration, diplomacy, and productive conversations. People may seem more willing to work together, and there can be a sense that plans are moving in the right direction. As the day progresses, especially into late afternoon and early evening, you may discover that some of the support you expected isn’t quite there. This could involve other people, resources, or even your own capacity and energy. Rather than becoming frustrated, treat this as useful information. Ask yourself where the gaps are and what adjustments need to be made. Sometimes recognizing what isn’t working is exactly what allows a better plan to emerge. This evening is well suited for reorganizing priorities and setting yourself up for a smoother tomorrow. Tuesday, June 23 Avoid Overcommitting As Mercury’s retrograde influence grows stronger, communication may require a little extra care. By afternoon, crossed signals, misunderstandings, or differing perspectives may become more noticeable. Double-check emails, texts, appointments, and social media posts before hitting send. A few extra moments of attention can save a great deal of confusion later. The Libra Moon continues to support social connection and enjoyable conversations, but there’s a tendency to overpromise under this energy. You may genuinely want to help everyone, participate in every opportunity, or say yes to every invitation. Be mindful of taking on more than you can realistically sustain. Protect enough time and energy for your own priorities. The Moon goes void-of-course just after midnight and enters Scorpio at 2:43 a.m. Eastern Time. In general, void-of-course periods are better for completing existing tasks than launching something entirely new. Wednesday, June 24 Deep Focus and Unexpected Insights The Scorpio Moon brings intensity, focus, and determination. These are excellent energies for research, creative work, healing practices, problem-solving, or anything that requires concentration and commitment. Early in the day, something unexpected may catch your attention. It doesn’t necessarily require immediate action, but it may contain useful information. Rather than dismissing it, take a moment to consider what it’s trying to show you. Scorpio energy is often about getting beneath the surface. What initially appears to be a distraction may reveal something important. As the day unfolds, make space for a brief spiritual or personal check-in. It doesn’t need to be elaborate. A few minutes of quiet reflection, a walk outside, or simply pausing to breathe can help you reconnect with your center. Later in the evening, power struggles or frustrations may surface. If they do, avoid narrowing your focus so much that you lose perspective. The more connected you remain to your inner resources, the easier it becomes to move through challenges without being consumed by them. Thursday, June 25 Commit to What Matters Thursday continues the focused, productive energy of the Scorpio Moon. This is a powerful day for deep work, meaningful conversations, and making substantial progress on something that matters to you. Whatever your goal is, give it your full attention. The key to working well with Scorpio energy is having a clear target. Whether you’re cleaning, creating, researching, healing, or building something, these are days that reward commitment and follow-through. A Sun-Neptune influence in the early evening offers a gentle reminder to replenish yourself. Connect with nature, spend time near water if possible, or engage in whatever helps you feel refreshed and inspired. Make room for renewal, not just productivity. Friday, June 26 Release Frustration Before It Builds Friday morning remains productive, but there may be moments of impatience, irritability, or short tempers. Jupiter’s influence can magnify emotions and reactions. Small frustrations may feel larger than they actually are. Avoid getting pulled into unnecessary arguments or conflicts that distract you from what’s truly important. If you notice tension building, find a healthy outlet. Movement, exercise, laughter, creativity, or even a brief change of scenery can help shift the energy. Mars is a source of fuel and action, but it works best when you’re directing it consciously rather than allowing it to direct you. The Moon goes void-of-course at 1:10 p.m. and enters Sagittarius at 2:41 p.m. Sagittarius Energy Arrives The mood shifts noticeably as Sagittarius takes over. Friday afternoon and evening bring excitement, enthusiasm, and a desire for freedom and exploration. A Moon-Uranus influence can make people a little distracted or impulsive, so stay aware of your surroundings, particularly while traveling or driving. Otherwise, this is wonderful energy for adventure, fresh ideas, nature, movement, and spending time with people who genuinely energize you. Saturday, June 27 Play, Explore, Expand Saturday looks joyful. The Sagittarius Moon encourages curiosity, exploration, learning, and fun. Whether you’re traveling, spending time outdoors, diving into new ideas, or simply enjoying the company of people you care about, the emphasis is on expansion. Allow yourself some play. Play isn’t frivolous—it fuels creativity, renews energy, and often opens doors that effort alone cannot. Follow what excites you. Sunday, June 28 Follow Curiosity, Not Commitments The Moon goes void-of-course early Sunday morning and remains void all day. This is not necessarily the best day for launching major projects, formal agreements, or commitments that require long-term follow-through. It is, however, an excellent day for enjoying the present moment. Spend time in nature, connect with friends, enjoy recreation, or simply allow yourself to move at a gentler pace. Mars enters Gemini today, bringing curiosity, movement, and sociability. Think neighborhood adventures, spontaneous conversations, bike rides, local exploration, and following interesting leads wherever they take you. You may meet fascinating people or have memorable encounters. Just don’t assume every connection needs to become something more. Sometimes the value is simply in the experience itself.

  3. Maximize the Waxing Moon

    Jun 14

    Maximize the Waxing Moon

    Insight for June 15–21, 2026 Welcome to the week of June 15, 2026. We’re coming off Sunday’s New Moon in Gemini, making this a particularly strong week for communication, connection, learning, and building bridges. All times are Eastern Time, so adjust accordingly for your location. As the Moon enters Cancer at 8:14 a.m. Monday, the focus shifts toward relationships built on heart, shared values, education, curiosity, and expanding our view of the world. There is a strong emphasis on what feels true, fair, and aligned with our personal moral compass. Of course, that can be complicated. We all see the world through different lenses, and there is rarely a single path to truth or justice. What helps us grow is curiosity—the willingness to test the limits of what we think we know. Depending on our level of fear or courage, that can feel either exciting or deeply uncomfortable. The week invites us to stay open, flexible, and willing to learn. Monday, June 15 Moving Through the Fog Monday begins an active, forward-moving phase of the waxing Moon cycle. It’s a good day for initiating projects and building momentum. The challenge is that the early part of the day may feel somewhat foggy. There can be confusion, mixed signals, competing opinions, or a disconnect between how we want something to unfold and the reality we’re facing. The most productive use of the morning and early afternoon is clearing away misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations. Problems arise when people become rigid in their thinking and insist there is only one correct way forward. After about 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the energy begins to improve. Clarity gradually returns, though the process may continue into the evening. A helpful influence arrives through a Venus-Uranus sextile, bringing inspiration, fresh perspectives, and opportunities to connect with people who think differently than we do. Stay open to unexpected ideas and conversations. Moon in Cancer: Comfort Matters When the Moon is in Cancer, self-care becomes important. We all have different ways of feeling grounded and cared for. For some people it’s food, for others it’s nature, music, familiar routines, or meaningful connection. Whatever gives you a sense of comfort and security, make room for it. The more supported you feel internally, the easier it is to navigate the week’s opportunities. Tuesday, June 16 Renewed Momentum Tuesday is when the week’s energy really begins to build. New ideas, projects, and opportunities that emerged over the weekend gain traction. It’s helpful to spend the morning making sure you have the practical and emotional support necessary to move forward. This may be as simple as leaving yourself open to possibility. Many of us are carrying a tremendous amount of fatigue right now. The constant flow of news, information, conflict, and change can be overwhelming. Sometimes creating momentum isn’t about adding more—it’s about removing what isn’t essential. Give yourself periods of quiet. Step away from the noise when you can. Allow yourself to trust that not everything requires immediate attention. Late-Day Opportunities After approximately 4:00–4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the energy becomes especially supportive for attracting opportunities and beneficial developments. Mercury is beginning to slow before its upcoming retrograde phase. That doesn’t mean progress stops, but it does suggest that this is a particularly useful time to act while forward momentum remains strong. If you’ve become discouraged about a project, dream, or goal, Tuesday offers an opportunity to reconnect with your original vision. Ask yourself: Why does this matter? If the answer still resonates deeply, you may discover a renewed sense of purpose, hope, and motivation. Wednesday, June 17 thru Thursday, June 18 Inspiration and Leadership The Moon enters Leo at 8:05 a.m. Wednesday, bringing enthusiasm, confidence, creativity, and momentum. These are excellent days for leadership, visibility, collaboration, and inspiring others. The challenge is moderation. Strong personalities can become even stronger under Leo energy. Passion can be motivating, but it can also overwhelm people if it’s delivered too intensely. If you’re leading, pay attention to how your message is being received. If you’re following someone else’s vision, take a moment to determine whether the excitement is grounded in something meaningful or simply intensity for its own sake. Watch the Delivery Late Wednesday afternoon, the Moon opposes Pluto. This aspect can amplify emotions and increase the tendency to push too hard. Be mindful of your tone and delivery. You want to inspire people, not exhaust them. Thursday remains highly productive. By evening, however, frustration levels may rise simply because people are tired. Practice patience with yourself and others. Friday, June 19 Flexibility Is Your Friend The Moon enters Virgo at 10:37 a.m. Virgo energy excels at organization, problem-solving, and paying attention to details. It’s practical, adaptable, and focused on doing the job well. Later in the day, a square between the Moon and Uranus may bring surprises, changes of plans, or unexpected detours. Rather than resisting change, look for ways to work with it. The evening is excellent for healing work, therapeutic practices, meditation, reflection, or simply giving yourself time to recharge. Saturday, June 20 Small Things Matter Saturday is a beautiful Virgo Moon day. Take care of details. Handle lingering tasks. Organize, simplify, and create order where needed. Just as importantly, enjoy the small things. Notice what’s blooming. Take a walk. Spend time in nature. Allow yourself to appreciate the simple pleasures that are often overlooked when life becomes busy. The day carries a restorative quality, particularly if you’ve taken care of important responsibilities earlier. There are many blessings available through attention, curiosity, and presence. Sunday, June 21 Summer Solstice and Father’s Day The Summer Solstice arrives as the Sun enters Cancer at 4:24 a.m. Eastern Time. The morning continues the week’s theme of restoration, connection, healing, and meaningful opportunities. It’s a lovely time to slow down and pay attention to what is actually happening around you. Virgo reminds us that when we’re focused only on the big picture, we often miss what matters most. Be present. Notice the details. Allow yourself to enjoy the experience of being alive. Seeking Balance The Moon enters Libra at 4:55 p.m., shifting attention toward balance, fairness, relationships, and priorities. The pace may slow somewhat compared to earlier in the week. There may be more discussion, reflection, and consideration of next steps. As you prepare for the coming week, identify what truly matters. This Solstice carries strong healing potential. At a time when many people feel exhausted by constant information, conflict, and distraction, it’s important to create space for restoration and perspective. The Moon in Libra reminds us that balance matters. Reciprocity matters. Fairness matters. We may not be able to control the larger forces at work in the world, but we can influence how we show up in our own lives. When you focus on kindness, compassion, meaningful work, justice, listening, and mutually supportive relationships, you contribute to greater balance in the world around you. The goal isn’t to eliminate differences. It’s to create enough balance that we are no longer exhausted by extremes. As the week closes, give yourself permission to rest, reset, and reconnect with what truly deserves your energy. For more details… Listen to the full weekly podcast!

  4. June 2026 Waning Moon

    May 31

    June 2026 Waning Moon

    Astrology June 2026 Welcome to June 2026. It’s a month that carries us toward July, summer, and all the fireworks—literal and figurative—that lie ahead. Some of you may be thinking, “Hasn’t everything already been volatile?” And yes, it has. We’re living in a time of acceleration. People are responding to influences all around them. From my perspective, the stars and symbols in the sky mirror the challenges, opportunities, and evolutionary shifts happening here on Earth. It’s a mystical language that can help us understand ourselves and the world around us in ways that are both expansive and deeply practical. That’s why I do these podcasts. When we pay attention to the natural world, we become participants in the symphony of life rather than acting as though we’re separate from it. The goal isn’t prediction for prediction’s sake. It’s awareness. The more conscious and present we become, the more fulfilled and impactful our lives can be. So let’s look at the week ahead. Monday, June 1 One thing regular listeners may have noticed is that we’re moving through some very long void-of-course Moon periods. The reason is simple: the outer planets are now sitting in the early degrees of new signs, which means the Moon is making fewer major aspects before changing signs. The Moon remains void-of-course in Sagittarius until 9:19 p.m. Eastern. Sagittarius brings enthusiasm, inspiration, and big ideas. Conversations can be exciting. Plans can sound brilliant. People may feel energized and ready to take on the world. Just don’t become too attached to outcomes. This is a terrific day for brainstorming, exploring possibilities, clearing your desk, and working on projects already underway. It’s less ideal for launching something new or expecting immediate results. At 9:19 p.m., the Moon enters Capricorn. That’s when the energy shifts from inspiration to implementation. Use the evening to make a plan. Prioritize. Organize. Decide what matters most for the next couple of days because Tuesday and Wednesday are your powerhouse work days. Tuesday, June 2 The Moon in Capricorn supports focus, discipline, and follow-through. A Moon-Saturn connection later in the day asks an important question: Are you honoring your commitments? That applies to promises made to others, but also promises made to yourself. Did you get enough rest? Are you taking care of your health? Are you giving your own needs the same respect and consideration you give everyone else’s? This aspect reminds us that self-respect is foundational. If your own tank is empty, eventually you have nothing left to give. So today is about accountability, structure, and showing up. Wednesday, June 3 Most of the day remains productive, but the key word is prioritization. There’s going to be plenty demanding your attention. The challenge is not getting scattered. Know what’s important and stay with it. A Mercury-Neptune connection can bring tremendous inspiration, creativity, and intuition. It can also bring confusion, distractions, mixed signals, and misunderstandings. If something unexpected comes across your desk, don’t let it pull you off course. Take what is useful. Stay grounded in your priorities. Let inspiration enhance your work rather than derail it. The Moon goes void-of-course at 11:04 p.m. Thursday, June 4 The Moon enters Aquarius at 9:46 a.m., and this is one of the strongest days of the week. Capricorn gets the work done. Aquarius opens the door to vision, innovation, and possibility. This is a wonderful day to collaborate, brainstorm, network, and connect with ideas that move you toward the future. Pluto remains in early Aquarius, amplifying themes of transformation and empowerment. The lesson of Pluto is always the same: Pay attention to what you’re attached to. The tighter we cling to ideas, identities, relationships, or expectations, the harder Pluto works to loosen our grip. Release creates space for transformation. That’s especially true now for Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo, and Taurus placements in the early degrees. Friday, June 5 Around midday, patience may be in short supply. People can be reactive, frustrated, or unwilling to compromise. If tensions rise, don’t force the issue. Give things room to breathe. Fortunately, the energy improves from noon into mid-afternoon, making it an excellent time for conversations, networking, and positive connections. At 3:51 p.m., the Moon goes void-of-course in Aquarius. Once that happens, stop pushing. This is an evening for relaxing, socializing, sharing ideas, and enjoying yourself. No need to solve every problem or save the world. Saturday, June 6 The Moon remains void-of-course until 8:43 p.m. Think of this as a day for exploration rather than execution. Visit a museum. Wander through a bookstore. Meet interesting people. Follow your curiosity. Be open to inspiration without demanding a specific outcome. Sometimes these void periods are less about making things happen and more about collecting experiences and impressions that become meaningful later. At 8:43 p.m., the Moon enters Pisces. The mood softens immediately. Music, art, imagination, connection, and dreams are all favored. Sunday, June 7 Sunday carries beautiful creative energy. What felt scattered or undefined earlier in the weekend may begin to come together now. Ideas gain shape. Conversations reveal opportunities. Inspiration becomes more tangible. It’s as though you’ve spent the past couple of days gathering ingredients, and now you can finally see what you’re making. Keep your ears open. Pay attention to invitations, conversations, and unexpected openings. There’s real creative and spiritual potential here as we move into the week ahead.

  5. Sagittarius Full Moon 2026

    May 24

    Sagittarius Full Moon 2026

    Monday Night into Tuesday — Mars Square Pluto: Power, Frustration, and Clarity Late Monday into the early hours of Tuesday, we have a Mars square Pluto configuration. Mars is desire, drive, assertion—sometimes anger. Pluto is transformation, power, and deep undercurrents. Together in a square, these energies can feel like opposing forces: I want this. You want that. Power struggles, frustration, or buried motivations may surface. What’s important is awareness. If you have strong Mars or Pluto placements in your chart, you may feel especially reactive. Before pushing harder, ask: * What am I defending? * What outcome am I attached to? * Am I seeking resolution—or control? Undermining, manipulating, or forcing outcomes tends to fracture trust. The opportunity here is different: introducing new perspectives, staying curious, and remembering that compromise doesn’t necessarily mean defeat. Some situations won’t resolve immediately. That’s okay. Wednesday, May 27 — The Long Void Moon: Organize, Reflect, Prepare The moon goes void of course at 7:32 a.m. ET and doesn’t enter Scorpio until 8:53 p.m. Much of the day carries that in-between quality. Rather than beginning something new, this is a strong day for: * Organizing * Storyboarding ideas * Reviewing options * Creating outlines or plans * Appreciation of beauty * Finishing what’s already underway If you’re in conversation around decisions or next steps, write things down. Make the possibilities visible. Sometimes clarity comes simply from seeing everything in one place. Wednesday Night Through Friday — Scorpio Moon: Depth, Focus, and Honest Conversation Once the moon enters Scorpio, the energy shifts. This is where concentration deepens. Scorpio favors research, therapy, emotional honesty, financial discussions, healing work, and focused effort. Thursday and Friday feel especially potent for meaningful conversations: Who’s invested? What matters? What’s the truth beneath the surface? This can be powerful energy for: * Therapeutic work * Emotional healing * Financial planning * Intimate conversations * Concentrated creative projects * Psychological insight * Health and wellbeing work The richness comes through depth. Not speed. Thursday morning may feel emotionally raw or slightly reactive for some. Move gently. Be attentive to irritation or defensiveness. By midday, the energy steadies considerably. There’s potential for meaningful connection—whether with another person, creative work, or yourself. Thursday Night — Venus and Saturn: Gentleness Matters Late Thursday carries a somewhat heavy Venus-Saturn tone. If you’re hard on yourself or inclined toward perfectionism, soften your evening. Simple gratitude practices help: A good cup of tea. Light through trees. A kind exchange. Something beautiful that happened quietly. Small appreciations matter. Especially before sleep. Friday, May 29 — Productive Focus and Unexpected Possibilities The moon remains in Scorpio most of the day and goes void at 8:05 p.m. This can be highly productive energy—particularly if you stay open to possibilities beyond what you originally imagined. Flexibility often creates more flow than rigid expectation. Evening favors restoration. Saturday, May 30 — Sagittarius Moon: Movement, Inspiration, Expansion At 8:45 a.m. ET, the moon enters Sagittarius. The feeling changes noticeably. Scorpio concentrates. Sagittarius expands. This is fire energy: curious, exploratory, inspired. Saturday may bring interruptions, detours, or surprising ideas. Some become distractions. Others become inspiration. Discernment matters. The day favors: * Nature * Travel * New foods * Learning * Philosophy * World music * Cultural experiences * Big conversations Anything that broadens perspective. Sunday, May 31 — Full Moon in Sagittarius: Play, Explore, Connect The full moon becomes exact at 4:45 a.m. ET. The moon then goes void at 9:21 a.m., remaining void through much of the day. This feels less like a day for pushing and more like a day for wandering, exploring, and following curiosity. If possible: Go outside. Visit a museum. Read something unfamiliar. Watch a foreign film. Travel physically—or through ideas. The larger invitation of this full moon asks: How do we communicate what truly matters to us? How do we remain curious, connected, and open to a bigger world? That might happen through conversation, creativity, solitude, study, prayer, dancing, or simply noticing the richness of being alive. The full moon doesn’t always demand answers. Sometimes it asks for participation. For more details… Listen to the full weekly podcast! Spot on Astrology - Blog about celebrity astrology and events Send A Tip for Pamela? “Always Welcome.

  6. Astrology Week of May 18, 2026

    May 17

    Astrology Week of May 18, 2026

    I hope everyone had a lovely new moon weekend — that Taurus energy offers delicious possibilities to restart, refresh, and move forward as spring blossoms toward summer. Monday, May 18th, 2026: the moon is void-of-course all day in Gemini. We’re coming off new moon momentum, eager to begin, connect, and make things happen. Gemini invites conversation, curiosity, new ideas, and tangents. But under a void moon, not everything introduced now will unfold as expected. Conventional astrology wisdom with the void-of-course… don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Focus on what’s already in motion. Finish, prepare, organize. The follow-through on new beginnings may be uncertain. At 9:46 p.m. Eastern, the moon enters Cancer, and the energy softens into nourishment — fertile ground for continuing intentions planted under the Taurus new moon. Tuesday has staying power. Dream work Monday night into Tuesday morning may be especially helpful. Even if dreams aren’t remembered, rest continues solving problems. Sleep supports creativity, clarity, and resilience. One challenge Tuesday may involve support systems: the right partners, timing, or expectations. Realizing you need help is not weakness. Sometimes wisdom looks like delegation, collaboration, or simply admitting you can’t carry everything alone. By late Tuesday afternoon, creative energy opens. If something won’t come together, step away. Walk. Cook. Shower. Tend the garden. Inspiration often arrives after effort loosens its grip. Wednesday carries a long void-of-course moon in Cancer — less barren than other void moons, more womb-like. Nourishment matters. Self-care matters. Unexpected conversations or encounters may offer exactly what you need. The sun enters Gemini Wednesday evening. Earlier in the day, subtle messages may appear: intuition, symbols, nature, a sudden sense that something is arriving before you can fully see it. Thursday is dynamic and well-supported for connection, momentum, and collaboration. Early frustrations may surface, but they pass. Observe first. React later. By Thursday evening, play becomes medicine. Watch a film. Dance. Rest. Reconnect with joy. Friday continues Leo energy: creativity, romance, risk, delight. Not reckless risk — the kind that opens curiosity. Try something new. Make art. Rearrange a room. Let the inner child have a voice. Saturday’s Virgo moon returns focus. Organize, tend details, cook, garden, heal, serve. Productivity comes more easily. And through the weekend, remember: self-nurturing replenishes the well. Without restoration, we eventually run dry. Sunday evening’s void-of-course moon in Virgo favors quiet. Early sleep. Baths. Reflection. Gentle restoration. Take care of yourselves this week. There is movement, yes — but also becoming.

  7. Taurus New Moon 2026

    May 10

    Taurus New Moon 2026

    Monday, May 11 I’m here to talk about the week of May 11th, 2026, from an astrological perspective. Those of you who listened last week may remember that I talked about bumps in the road — places where things weren’t flowing the way we wanted them to. This week feels more workable. We have more ability to follow through, wrap things up, and move with the waning moon energy. The waning moon is best for completing things, organizing, deciding what we are no longer working on as we move toward the next lunar cycle, and carrying existing projects into the next stage. Long-term projects may absolutely continue, but we’re generally better served if we’re not trying to force a major launch right now. Of course, life happens. Things begin during waning moons all the time. What matters is learning how to work with the energy rather than fighting upstream like a salmon. Monday into Tuesday may feel like the more challenging part of the week, though not necessarily in a dramatic way. The Moon in Pisces forms a square to Venus, and for people who already carry challenging Moon-Venus aspects in their natal chart, this can stir up feelings of lack, compromise, or emotional short-changing. It can feel like:“Oh, this again.”“I have to sacrifice in order to make this happen.”“Someone else’s needs are getting prioritized over mine.” What’s important is not immediately believing the feeling. Try to observe it. Try to find ways to honor both needs, both desires. This energy actually favors listening. If you’re working with a group, a project, or even family dynamics, let everyone be heard. Inclusion matters right now. The more space there is for different perspectives, the easier it becomes for things to move as the week unfolds. This can also be internal. I don’t know about you, but I have conversations in my head constantly. One part wants this, another part wants that, and then there’s always some bossy little voice in the background insisting it knows best. The question becomes: how do you sort through all the voices and determine the actual priority? This can be a very creative and constructive day if you stay engaged. Some of us may want to be near water or nature. Others may need music, beauty, conversation, or something playful to keep energy flowing while working. What we want to avoid is getting lost in indecision or emotional fog. That said, breaks are important. A walk, meditation, stepping outside, or simply unplugging for a little while can be deeply restorative. This also feels like a good evening for sleep and replenishment. Tuesday, May 12 Tuesday opens with the Moon still in Pisces. It goes void-of-course at 6:04 a.m. Eastern Time and remains void for most of the day until entering Aries at 8:04 p.m. A Pisces void Moon is floating energy. I think of it as crossing a lake. You’re still moving, but you’re not forcing. You’re restoring, observing, conserving energy, and allowing yourself to drift enough to regain perspective. This is a terrific day for asking:Where am I in this process?Is this flowing naturally?Am I pushing unnecessarily? If something feels stalled or uncertain, don’t force clarity. Support the process without becoming rigid about how things must happen. More information is still arriving. Then, late evening, the energy shifts dramatically as the Moon enters Aries. We move from mutable water into cardinal fire:from floating to movement,from dreaming to doing. Suddenly there may be energy, restlessness, inspiration, or even overstimulation. Some people may feel wide awake late into the night. Move the energy physically if needed. Take a walk after dinner. Dance around the house. Stretch. Do something familiar that helps your body process the surge rather than getting stuck in it. The goal is to move toward rest rather than burnout. Wednesday, May 13 Wednesday is a high-action day. Even though we’re still in a waning moon cycle, there’s strong support for momentum, initiative, creativity, and leadership. With the Moon in Aries and Saturn also in Aries, the question becomes:Who is actually showing up? If people who promised support don’t appear, clarity comes quickly. You may realize where you’ve been overextending energy or relying on people who simply aren’t available in the ways you need. That realization doesn’t have to become bitterness. It can simply become information. Okay. That’s not reliable. Moving on. And if people do show up? Great. Then you know who your team is. This is a powerful day for moving forward with the people, systems, and opportunities that are actually responsive. Thursday, May 14 Thursday continues the Aries energy and asks for focus. Know your priorities early in the day. Put your energy into what is moving rather than obsessing over what refuses to move. This is important under Aries energy:work with what is alive.Work with what responds. Mars in Aries supports initiative and courage. The message is simple:Do what you can with what you have. The Moon goes void-of-course at 5:33 p.m. Eastern Time, so ideally the bigger push happens earlier in the day. Evening feels better for wrapping up, cleaning up, and winding down. At 10:33 p.m., the Moon enters Taurus, leading us toward Saturday’s Taurus New Moon. Friday, May 15 Friday carries lovely Taurus energy. If possible, spend time with good food, beauty, music, meaningful conversation, nature, scent, color, comfort — all the things that remind us that being alive in a body is actually a gift. The Moon in Taurus heightens the senses. It reminds us to savor experience rather than rush through it. There may be a little tension early in the morning around control, desire, or competing priorities, but once that passes, the day opens beautifully. This is restorative energy. Saturday, May 16 — Taurus New Moon The Taurus New Moon occurs at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time. This is a powerful New Moon for thinking about what you want to build, stabilize, create, or manifest in tangible form. Taurus is fixed earth. It wants something real. A dream becoming a structure.An idea becoming a product.A desire becoming a commitment. This is fertile energy for planting seeds that need roots. Sometimes after a New Moon there’s a slight drifting period, almost like the seed settling into the soil before growth begins. But this transition happens fairly quickly because later that evening the Moon enters Gemini. And then the ideas begin moving. Conversations spark. Thoughts accelerate. Curiosity wakes up. Sunday, May 17 Sunday feels buzzy, electric, curious, and mentally active. The Gemini Moon brings ideas, conversations, possibilities, and movement. Not everything is fully formed yet, but inspiration is very alive. The important thing is discernment. There’s a lot of stimulation right now, so it’s important to ask:What actually has continuity?What deserves sustained attention? The Moon goes void-of-course at 3:36 p.m. and remains void until Monday. So overall, this week is best used by focusing on completion before the New Moon arrives. Ask yourself: What am I finishing?What am I preparing for?What am I ready to grow next? The dark-of-the-moon period late Thursday into Friday feels especially fertile psychologically and spiritually. It allows us to settle inward before the next cycle begins. By the time the Taurus New Moon arrives, we’re much more prepared to move toward what we truly want to build and bring into form.

  8. Pluto Retrograde

    May 3

    Pluto Retrograde

    Monday, May 4 — Sagittarius Fire, Aim Matters As you heard last week, we are now in the waning Moon cycle, following Friday’s full Moon (in the podcast please adjust timing from Eastern Time Zone, if needed). We open this week with the Moon in Sagittarius, and Monday is a strong day for finishing things—working with what already has momentum, connecting with people in ways that pull things together. There’s a lot of energy here. Sagittarius is mutable and adaptable, and as the Moon moves, it trines Mars—the planet of action and desire. Even though the Moon goes void of course at 5:33 p.m. Eastern, there’s still a window where that Sagittarian energy is active. The key: know what you’re aiming for. Sagittarius can get excited, pulled into ideas and conversations, and lose focus. It’s active—but not always targeted. This is the sign of the archer. Place your arrow with intention, especially into the evening. This energy carries through to about mid-morning Tuesday. Tuesday, May 5 — Shift into Capricorn, Reality Check The Moon enters Capricorn at 3:06 p.m. From mid-morning until then, the energy shifts from “push” to “assess.” What worked? What didn’t? Gather your thoughts, organize, clean up what’s in the way. Once in Capricorn, it’s time to roll up your sleeves. Tuesday afternoon through the next couple of days is about evaluating where you are—and having the harder conversations. Power dynamics, impasses, and repeating patterns may surface. Watch for the “ping-pong” conversations—the ones where you already know the script. What matters is catching yourself in the moment. When the ball comes your way and your response is automatic, pause. Change it. Offer something different. It disrupts the pattern. It’s like wrestling—choreographed, predictable. The players know the outcome. But when you shift your move, the other person doesn’t know what comes next. So ask:What can I say differently?How can I shift this? It may not land smoothly—but it creates space. Capricorn brings emotional realism. It can feel cold, but it sees clearly. And that matters. There’s a difference between imagining something new and actually seeing what’s in front of you. Between magical thinking and reinvention. Wednesday, May 6 — Pluto Retrograde Pluto goes retrograde at 11:34 a.m. This shift may not be felt immediatly, but over the coming weeks and months, we’ll begin to see its effects—especially with Pluto in Aquarius. Collectively, this points to reconsideration around technology, systems, and power structures. Personally, if Pluto is active in your chart—especially early degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio—you may feel this shift more directly. It can feel like relief or like something heavy returning. Globally, expect intensification around power, resources, and control. We’re already seeing this reflected in world events. On a practical level, Wednesday is productive—good for doing the work—as long as everyone is aligned. Thursday, May 7 — Raw Morning, Void Moon Reset Thursday morning is raw. People may be cranky, reactive, or argumentative—especially from early morning through late morning. If anything was left unresolved, this is when it shows up. The Moon goes void of course at 10:18 a.m. for the rest of the day. Best approach: handle things ahead of time (Wednesday). Check in. Make sure everyone is on the same page. Capricorn energy can get very task-focused, but if people don’t feel heard or supported, frustrations surface. After the void Moon, the afternoon and evening can be quite productive—especially for follow-through. Friday, May 8 — Aquarius Flow, Collective Momentum The Moon enters Aquarius at 3:27 a.m., and now things begin to flow. There’s a nice hum here. After a week of managing dynamics, Friday feels lighter. If you’re in sync, you’re in it—focused, engaged, in your element. This is great for collaboration, community, shared goals. Whether in person or across distances, there’s a sense of collective movement. Even in a waning Moon cycle, there’s initiation energy. Something that stalled may come back online—new information, new resources, or a key person entering the mix. Sometimes the power source is simply the right person at the right time. Sunday, May 10 — Void Moon Morning, Pisces Softening The Moon goes void of course at 1:09 a.m. (Mother’s Day in the U.S.) and doesn’t enter Pisces until 1:39 p.m. The morning is for slowing down. Unplug. Journal. Rest. Aquarius energy is electric and mental—this is your chance to step away and let things settle. Bake, garden, walk—connect in a more organic way. Once the Moon enters Pisces, the energy softens. More intuitive, more fluid. With Uranus now in Gemini, there may be an unexpected shift—something out of the blue. Not negative, just a redirection. Likely mid-afternoon. By evening, there’s a sweetness. A sense of expansion, possibility, something opening. Lean into that. Because later, things may narrow or refine—but if you’ve allowed yourself to fully expand into possibility, what remains will be something you can truly build. Not just realistic. Realizable.
